Cerebral Palsy: Understanding the Condition

Cerebral palsy is a broad term that the medical community uses to describe a set of neurological conditions that result in physical developmental disabilities. These disabilities involve total or partial paralysis of the body’s muscles, also known as muscle stiffness or “spasticity.” In many cases, those affected by CP experience uncontrollable tremors, loss of physical sensation, seizures, speech problems and other effects.

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy usually appear by age 3. The child may:

Crawl in a strange fashion

Crawl, walk or talk much later than other children

Have difficulty feeding

Be unusually “floppy” or stiff when he or she moves

Have seizures, vision problems or hearing problems

Display other signs of abnormal development

Was My Child’s Cerebral Palsy Caused by Medical Malpractice?

Not all CP is caused by the negligence of a medical provider. However, in some unfortunate cases, it is. Cerebral palsy is generally caused by oxygen deprivation, which may potentially be the result of:

Failure to test for or treat meningitis, Group B strep or other infections in the pregnant mother

Failure to diagnose uterine rupture or a prolapsed umbilical cord

Other types of medical malpractice
